Above were the cats for the cheapest tickets but £2 was added during the season to each type SSL1 SSL3.

The club have quoted an average of £12.63 for 19 games on the Flexi Gold (£315-£75) in their example.
If you apply the same qty of games per category and pricing difference per category in that table for this current season then next year you will look to be paying £7.94, £11.72, £15.49 or £17 for that price category in their example.
If you purchased the 10 cheapest games you would end up paying a total of £177 or if you purchased the 10 most expensive games you would end up paying £225

just a rough guess ;)

Deluded Spurs fans if they think their club has values that preclude this.

Is our club or any other any better really. We could do the same as we are oversubscribed currently and I expect some movement towards it. Clubs like Burnley couldn't as they can't afford to lose support, even FOCs.

Football is a business and at the highest level over 65 concessions make no commercial sense whatsoever. They couldn't give a rats arse how long supporters have been going.
 
Never understood why over 65s have a discount, as a proportion of the population they have the highest disposal income and unlike offering cheap tickets to students ect you arent securing any longer term income from them when they hit an age they have to pay full price.

Right now it may make sense but we may not have the demand in 3 years time.

Football clubs throughout history haven't been real businesses and would not exist if it wasn't for soft loans and cash injections, with one year 90 of the 92 making losses. Business are set up to make a profit, football clubs make losses mainly.

I'm all for a discount of some sort for O65s but 50% is ridiculous.

At least they are likely to be able to retire if they haven't already!

Mine in mid SS3 is 34% currently. This year is the first it hasn't gone down as a proportion to the full price since I got it nearly five years ago.

It is around 50% for more expensive areas though.

You could say the same for any concessions at any sporting event I guess. Not all pensioners have bags of cash, hidden away. You will probably feel different about it when you are 65 - if you’re lucky enough to make it that long.

I’m guessing when discounts for most things started for pensioners, it came in an era when the majority of people didn’t pay into private pensions and weren’t home owners.

So probably most retirees had the state pension and that was it. Yet still had to find their rent and pay other bills.

Whereas now with maybe the majority ( or certainly a fair chunk) have homes paid off and a decent private pension plan.

I’m not making a case for not having OAP discounts btw. The complete opposite in fact. I’m not that far off myself. And if I make it that far, I want a piece of the pie aswell.

Just making the point, that I can understand the argument. Pensioners over the years have probably gone from the poorest demographic to possibly the richest, on average.

I don’t understand it either. Obviously very historical.
 
I first heard about this at work this week. Someone ( not a blue) was commenting on how City have increased their prices as if no other club does. Is that true? Surely every club/business does to combat inflation.
